About OHMI-Nunavik

This group was created on the initiative of the Centre national de recherche scientifique (CNRS) (France) and Centre d'études nordiques (CEN) (Quebec) research institutes, and the communities residing in Nunavik who wish to take control of the development and management of their territory, particularly in a context where the Arctic is undergoing climate, ecological and social changes.
